Copenhagen Debacle: Universe Unfolding, Human Consciousness

TWO FRIENDS of mine texted to respond to my blog posting of a few days ago that had expressed my consternation over the Copenhagen Debacle last December. My bestfriend Joydee Elizondo said, "Don't expect too much. "The Universe is unfolding as it should," remember? And my favorite "supergirl," Iya Santiago, texted, "Wag mo problemahin masyado copenhagen." These friends may have been concerned about my blood pressure and the possible effect of my indignant passions on it, the possible effect of my WRATH on my health.

. Okay, I admitted to Joydee a little more recently during a brief visit, that my wrath actually comes from expecting too much. My fault was precisely that. I have had this tendency to take seriously the human claim that the "sapiens" term in our scientific name as a species actually means something and is not a simple sample of narcissistic swooning.

. If the word "sapiens" is to be validated at all, we would all be certain and unmistakably indignant, even nauseated, over the the absurdity of keeping profit levels and comfortable lifestyles of the powerful few as a reason, an excuse, to ignore the syllogisms about the realities of climate change, continuance of environmentally-destructive human activities, and the survival of the planet's biosphere. Corporate thinking has really become dehumanized and "business-as-usual" culture has indeed invincibly steamrollered its profiteering "logic" over the otherwise inteligent decision-making of the world's statesmen, and they agreed to commit Humankind to continue a process of slow-motion mass suicide.

. My doubts about Human "sapiens" have been too generous. The word "insanity" comes as the more appropriate description.

. When powerful corporations, and their representatives in international forums like inter-governemental summits, can afford to lightly ignore or dismiss the very survival of entire populations of nations and of the planet, they are indeed excessively powerful. And the magnitude of such power has apparently reached the proportions of arrogant insanity.

. The universe is unfolding as it should. And this would hopefully include in the unfolding the popular indignation and the powerful actions to be adopted by the passionate and prudent on such levels of idiocy already attained by the reverse evolution of the human mind which may all have been rooted in our collective ignorance about the oneness of all humanity. This ignorance has been behind our difficulty in living along the guiding admonition, "Magpakatao at makipagkapwa-tao tayo."

. Aside from being concerned about my wrath and its effect on my health, i also ask all my friends to join minds with me and all other active advocates of conscious oneness of humans, regardless of economic circumstances, in rechanneling the wrath into doable solutions for the sake of Life on this planet.
